Step-by-step explanation:
To plot the line through the point, plot the point. Then find another point that has the given "rise" and "run". Draw the line through the two points.
__
The given point is (-7, -4). Locate that on the graph.
The slope is given as -2/3. This is the ratio of "rise" to "run", so it means the "rise" will be -2 for each "run" of 3. (rise/run = -2/3)
The rise is the vertical change. So, you want your second point to be 2 units below the given point. Its y-coordinate will be -4-2 = -6.
The run is the horizontal change. Your second point will be 3 units to the right of the given point, so its x-coordinate will be -7+3 = -4. Now, you can plot the point (-4, -6) and draw your graph through these two points.
Since we need to solve for r we have to leave that variable alone in one side of the equation. We notice that at is adding in the right side, then it goes to the left side substracting, that is:
Therefore:
in the last part we only switch the sides of the equation.
